West Indies suffered a mini collapse as it reached tea on 502 for eight on the fourth day of the second Test against South Africa in St. Kitts Monday. Among the four first-innings wickets to fall in the afternoon session was anchorman Shivnarine Chanderpaul for a marathon 166. The left-hander faced 357 deliveries, compiling a modest total of 10 fours and one six, as he led the response to South Africa's 543 for six declared. At tea, Ravi Rampaul was 10 not out and Sulieman Benn unbeaten on five. Dwayne Bravo made a painstaking 53 in 215 balls as he and Chanderpaul ground out a partnership of 100 for the fifth wicket. Chanderpaul was eventually caught and bowled by spinner Paul Harris, who also had Bravo snapped up by keeper Mark Boucher. South Africa leads the three-match series 1-0. ‘Australia team to beat' England may have enjoyed success against Australia during the past year but captain Andrew Strauss insists it remains the team to beat in One-Day Internationals. The old rivals begin a five-match limited overs series at the Rose Bowl here Tuesday with England, which won the Ashes last year and beat Australia in the World Twenty20 final in Barbados last month, looking to complete a ‘treble' with victory over the Aussies in the third of international cricket's formats. But Australia is world champion in the 50-over game. Last year, after losing the Ashes on English soil, it thrashed England 6-1 in a one-day series and then beat it by nine wickets in the semifinals on the way to winning the Champions Trophy in South Africa. “If you look at the way Australia have played one-day cricket over the last 12 months they are the team to beat,” Strauss told reporters in London Monday. “I don't think there's a one-day team out there with a better record than them ... It's not going to be easy.” Australia has arrived in England without injured fast bowlers Brett Lee, Mitchell Johnson and Peter Siddle and now it is down to the likes of left-arm quick Doug Bollinger, Clint McKay and Ryan Harris to plug the gaps. Strauss' county colleague Owais Shah said Australia's pace attack lacked the “X-factor” after scoring 92 against it for Middlesex at Lord's Saturday. However, Strauss said: “I think it would be disrespectful to say they haven't got that X-factor. “They probably don't have the pace of someone like Brett Lee now but we've seen before that express pace can also quite hard to defend.” - AP Scoreboard South Africa (1st innings) 543-6 decl.
